On Sunday, it was rainy, cool and gloomy so we jumped in the car and drove around. First we drove up to Lake Placid, NY, home of the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics. On the way, we stopped at Mel's Diner for lunch. I have to say, I was disappointed that there was no Flo telling anyone to "Kiss my grits!"

Downtown Lake Placid was packed with people going to lots of little shops. It looked like a neat place to poke around but we weren't dressed for the drop in temperature. It literally dropped 12 degrees from our campsite in Keeseville to downtown Lake Placid! Everyone we meet already thinks we are crazy because they are bundled up and we're still in shorts and t-shirts. But even I thought Lake Placid was chilly. So we just drove around and then headed home.
We also drove over to Plattsburgh, NY. I had some family who lived there for years. We never got to visit them because it's so far away from Ohio and now they have moved to the Cape Cod area and we will be visiting them in a few weeks!
The funny thing we noticed about Plattsburgh and Lake Champlain is for a holiday weekend there was hardly anyone around. We expected lots of people to be boating on the Lake and people to be out and about for the holiday. Most of the towns around here seemed almost deserted. Weird.
Maybe they all get out of town before it gets too cold...? I know I would!
